Ultimate Guide to BTS's ARIRANG World Tour at Stanford Stadium in the Bay Area
BTS is set to perform at Stanford Stadium in the Bay Area for three nights on May 16th, 17th, and 19th, 2026, as part of their "ARIRANG World Tour". Although all three dates are sold out, resale tickets are still available through trusted platforms. The Bay Area, with one of the largest Korean-American communities in the country, has high demand for BTS tickets, leading to the quick sell-out. The Tuesday date, May 19th, is generally the most affordable of the three nights.
If you are looking for last-minute tickets, StubHub is a primary resale platform for all three Stanford nights, offering a FanProtect guarantee for every purchase. Ticket prices on StubHub may vary depending on demand. Ticketmaster's Verified Resale platform and SeatGeek are also options to explore for tickets. Fans can check out reddit's r/bangtan for face value ticket sales, but caution is advised as there is no buyer protection.
Stanford Stadium tickets are on the pricier side compared to other US stops due to its smaller size and high demand in the Bay Area. However, the addition of a third night has helped bring prices down. The Tuesday night show on May 19th is the most affordable option. Showtime for the concerts is 8:00 PM for May 16th and 17th, and 7:00 PM for May 19th. Transportation options to the venue include Caltrain and rideshare services.
For those unable to attend the Stanford shows, BTS will also be performing in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on May 23rd, 24th, 27th, and 28th, and in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium on September 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th. The "ARIRANG World Tour" is BTS's largest tour to date, supporting their fifth studio album. The tour features all seven members of the group and includes a 360-degree in-the-round stage for optimal viewing.
